Why did the father of Quebec's education minister fail to get her a passport?

Andre Malavoy lived an interesting life and certainly did many good things, but he also did a troubling thing that many poorer and less-educated immigrants to Canada sometimes do.
   Malavoy was born in France during World War I and in his mid-20s joined the French Resistance. He was captured by the Germans in 1942 and kept in a POW camp until 1945, where he witnessed and endured some tough times. He wrote about all that in a book published in 1961.
   After the war, the French government gave him a job back in Berlin representing France and that's where his daughter Marie was born in 1948.
   He was later posted to Montreal to lead a new tourist body. After an eight year mandate, Malavoy decided to stay in Canada and launched his own travel agency, which subsequently expanded and still exists. He died at the age of 91 in 2005.
  Malavoy raised his family in that area near upper Westmount, just west of Victoria north of the Boulevard, (I guess it's Cote des Neiges, although his well-known daughter Marie Malovoy subsequently described it as Snowdon.)
   Malavoy provided for his family, but failed to get his daughter Marie one very important thing: citizenship.
   She remained a landed immigrant until about the age of 40 and presumably held only a German or French passport and was therefore vulnerable to many things that others were not.
   Indeed Marie Malavoy was later caught and punished for voting illegally, which is a serious offense. Getting caught voting in Canada, where she was a non-citizen, remains a painful embarrassment to Malavoy and is one which she admits caused her great consternation.
  Many other immigrant parents fail to make their children Canadian citizens and as a result these kids are subject to deportation if convicted of a crime punishable by five years or more. Many convicts who have spent almost their entire lives here have been deported to countries which they don't know simply because their parents didn't get their citizenship.
   Nowadays Marie Malvoy is a Canadian citizen and is currently serving as Education Minister of the minority PQ government. She has forwarded some ideologically-oriented proposals and seems to be no friend of Canada's dominant language, so it's possible that Andre Malavoy led a household that had some sort of ideological notion that compelled him to fail to provide for his children in the passport way, particularly odd considering he was a travel agent.
   He likely imagined that Malavoy might end up back in France, which didn't allow for dual citizenship until 1973, when she was 25.
   So if you're an immigrant, be sure to make your kids legal citizens or they might very much regret your inaction.
